    Your family has become my family! As a 58 year old widow with no children, the ability to turn to your channel and fill my home with conversation, shared meals, Thanksgiving, Christmas and everyday life is a real blessing. Many times I've thanked God for you and yours! My mother's side of the family was from Appalachia and brought many of the same ways to Louisiana. Thank you for your honest, loving and faith-filled influence, Tipper!

I've told them about you for the last two years. I introduced them to your videos this year. They teased me and told me I talk about you as if you were my friend. I told them you are my friend!

    I am 57, born and raised in Southern California. But...I grew up eating what you eat and saying the words you say. I've learned that my people came from England and settled in very northern Alabama. I had a "Mamaw" when everyone else had a grandma. I ate black eyed peas on New Year's Day. I thought collards smelled terrible but loved them with Picapeppa sauce. Thank you for helping connect me to my ancestry. I have sent a small donation so you will buy the ingredients to make another Pumpkin Roll for your family 😍. You bring me joy and inspiration daily Sheila.

    Congratulations Tipper and family on 16 years. Tipper I am a retired 74 year old and because of some unexpected back pain I do not get out much. One of the blessings from that is that I found your channel and found so many familiar memories of my family. My grandparents my parents and the love of family and cooking and gardening. That is exactly how I grew up. I have lived in the Sandhills of North Carolina all my life and have always been a country girl. My grandparents killed hogs, milked cows, had a huge garden every year and always loved their church. I sometimes feel sad that so many things have changed and my grandchildren will not have those precious memories. But for me I will never forget and you and your beautiful family remind me all the time that there is good in this country. Thank you so much for your hard work and please keep up the good work. I feel like I am part of your family and that is why I watch you wonderful videos. Sending all my love and respect to you and your family.

It's such a joy when you share your life with us, whether you're cooking a meal, sharing music, taking a walk, working in the garden, or just sitting around and talking with one another. You read to us, share your holidays with us, and make us feel like we're part of your family. You, Matt, Corie and Austin, Katie, Granny, Miss Cindy, Paul, and the little ones on the way. Even Olive and Binx. You're all loved and blessed, and we are richer for knowing all of you.Thank you so much.

    Thank you for sharing your life with us. One of my pet peeves is how Hollywood invariably gives the uneducated, backward character a southern Appalachian accent. If they only knew how intelligent and hard working the people of Appalachia really are. I’m glad we have someone who is working to dispel that stereotype as well as show the joys of Appalachian life, which are many.

    I wholeheartedly concur and am currently in the short rows of a book profiling some three dozen mountain characters from yesteryear. One of my overriding objectives is to portray high country folks, warts an all, as they really are. All the profiles deal with people who are dead, but collectively they counter the widespread stereotype. That's true of even the rascals, rogues, and renegades who are covered in one section of the book. Jim Casada

    You did your YT journey just right. There are so many who rush, rush, rush and then start making a little money and quit their jobs only to find their channels fail to grow, become demonitized and they have no income because they were counting on YT to make them a living. I've seen many completely devastated YTubers crying because they couldn't maintain the quality of content needed to bring in the subs or have banked on subjects that are too controversial. Then they blame YT for that failure. Most of them had borrowed on their expectations and were bankrupted. I'm very happy that you and Matt and the girls (and Austin) are able to have a comfortable life by sharing it with others. You are a joy.

I watch a lot of the political to find out what’s going on in the world, I watch a lot of Bible and end times prophecy videos etc. there’s a lot of negative stuff out there. I always come back to your channel to calm me and settle me down. I adore your family, youve helped me put in my first garden and much was a success, I plant a lot of the same stuff you do so I could watch you and Matt and learn. I also watch your girls. Such sweet young women and Godly women. Such wholesome uplifting content. Thank you all for what you’ve done to help all of us. Also you and Matt are an example of how a couple of married people are supposed to enjoy each other. I get so tickled at Matt and I can see that he adores you. What most wouldn’t give for that. It ought to be a requirement for young people to watch you and see what a wonderful marriage looks like. Lots of hard work and popsicles. 🤣

    Couldn’t imagine KZread without your Celebrating Appalachia channel. You deserve the success you are now enjoying because of all the hard work you’ve put into it. We feel like part of y’all’s family for sure as we have met y’all in person multiple times and know that you and your family are GENUINE people on camera and in person. Not many folks on here can say they’ve put their feet under your table and enjoyed some of your fine southern cooking like Robbie Lynn & I have!!!! Thanks for sharing this video and for what y’all do to make KZread a happy place for so many people!! Praying for you all. 🙌🏻🙏🏻😇❤️

He told us that they traveled by covered wagon. I'm just so happy that I found you on KZread. I enjoy watching your family. I enjoyed watching granny's Birthday, Kaity's baby shower too. I pray granny's is doing ok. I'm eager to see Kaity's baby boy when he arrives. Thank you for such a wonderful Christian blog. God Bless You All.🌷🌿🌻🙂

    We found your blog right after we bought our vacation cabin in 2008. We were so happy to find you I remember finding the first event in Young Harris we saw the Blind Pig and the Acorn, the girl were clogging and the music was amazing. Pap was there and we loved the group. The next event was in Blairsville on the square. I really miss these events. But, most of all we enjoyed finding out about the area we planned to eventually be our home. I love it here

If life takes us to, GOD will hold our hand and walk us through! Your faith inspires me to strengthen mine more. Praying for Granny, the girls and the excitement GOD will bring to them both shortly. Matt will have those boys out in the woods hunting before they can walk! I pray GOD continues to bless your family. All the best from Elizabethton TN.

    Tipper, I'm from Texas and my mom was born in Deep East Texas and I remember from the time I was real little that all of her kin would always say "We're so proud for you." I would ask my momma what does that mean, and she told me Well, that's their way of saying they're happy for you. So you saying that at the front of this vlog made me smile when I heard you say that.😊

My Sister has her own family to care for and a job and a horse farm, so she is busy. Mom passed away 17 yrs. ago So you are my only human voices I get to hear. I just love you all to pieces. All of you all are in my prayers. Please pray for me too.

In the sum of it all, Gods love for each and every one of us is beyond comprehension. Then there are your amazing and lovely daughters, Corie and Katie. May God continue to bless you 🤗
